Do you still have
/gnu/store/f2x4iww7rb38hcss42nz8frrjiz3m5z3-subversion-1.14.1.drv
around?  Does it fail every time with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build /gnu/store/f2x4iww7rb38hcss42nz8frrjiz3m5z3-subversion-1.14.1.drv
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If not, you've found a nondeterministic failure (nondeterministic
failures in tests are often at cause).

Otherwise, I'm afraid there's not much we can do/know to debug the issue
further.

Thanks,

Maxim
